Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones

[Jamos' Old Account]

I recently went to the mall and bought it new for $29.99, isn't it suppose to be 49.99? Well, I'm not going to complain about getting it for cheap (that wouldn't be very smart.) I haven't had the chance to play it yet, so is it any good?

Re: Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones

I think at gamestop all ubisoft games are 29.99 until January 1st. I thought of picking it up, but Warrior Within was such a piece of crap, I wasn't sure if this one was gonna be any good.

Re: Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones

I heard that it's better than Warrior Within, but...

Why a triolgy? Sands of Time's narative is got perfict and it removes a lot of room for a sequel to work in. Warrior felt like a different series with a different lead character. The prince in Warrior is not the same guy as the one in Sands. I love sands. It's an amazing game. Especialy the way it's told. Warrior ruined that. And though Throwns is suposted to be better gameplay wise, it looks like it's still folowing the track that Warrior layed down, narative wise.

That will not do.

Re: Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones

I borrowed Two Thrones and just started playing it. It's a lot of fun. It feels a bit like God of War (especially because of the Daggertail) but PoP focuses on the environment puzzles instead of the combat. I'm not sure if I like it as much as GoW but the point is they're both kick ass. I rented Sands of Time a while back but sucked at it so I didn't like it. I don't know if Thrones is easier or I'm just being less stupid this time around. Since this is the end of the PoP trilogy I guess the Prince will be handing off the torch to Altair in Assassin's Creed which should be amazing also.

Re: Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones

I only played Sands of Time and a little bit of Warrior Within. Two Thrones is at a really good price now, so one of these days, I'll pick it up.

The story has gotten a lot darker since Sands of Time. I'm a sucker for dark stories.

Re: Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones

Warrior felt like a different series with a different lead character. The prince in Warrior is not the same guy as the one in Sands.

That was the point. In Sands, he was young and naive, in Warrior he's out for blood to prevent his own death.

Once things got settled there (Warrior's "GOOD" ending), Two Thrones was more like the prince from Sands, only a bit wiser of what he's done and needs to do.

Oh my! I never expected to see this topic again!







Anyways, I enjoyed the game, but I just wish that YOU could transform into Dark Prince, rather than the game doing it at different points. That would have been really sweet.

Why should I play this when I have ICO?

Re: Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones

The combat is better than ICO's.... other than that, no real reason.

That's the dumbest thing I've ever read.

Why are you comparing this game to ICO? Are they really that much alike?

I guess I shouldn't buy Mario Kart double dash because I got mario kart 64.

Dumb.

Re: Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones

Finally finished it. Great game especially that trippy last part, right up there with God of War and the Legacy of Kain series for best action adventures. Oddly it was the new stuff added to this installment that were least enjoyable, the chariot races were fun but frustrating since even the slightest mistake meant death and rewind and it was idiotic for the Dark Prince to lose health constantly. The only thing he added to the gameplay was the Daggertail which could've just as easily been used by the regular Prince. I need to get the first two games now, the trailers for them were good. Does Warrior Within really have semi-explicit sex scenes?

Mora, these games' gameplay are COMPLETELY different. Otherwise, I wouldn't love the PoP series and think Ico is overrated. Sheez.

Warrior within is awesome, no sex scenes though. Good call on the series being up there with LoK and GoW. Now we just have to wait for GoW2 in March.

Re: Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones

I picked this up recently for my PS2. What an awesome game. I should have bought it sooner, but I guess it's okay now since it's only $19.99 (and on GH).

It makes me want to look into Assassin's Creed.

Re: Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones

my only complaint with the entire trilogy are the sound effects. Either things just didn't seem right for what was going on, or it didn't have enough going on. Besides the music, the games seem more quiet.
